Happy reading.

Thai Soy Sauces, a primer 🇹🇭
Six types :
(1) Thin = Lighter than Japanese/Chinese*
(2) Mushroom = A unique to Thai cuisine secret weapon ie a light/thin soy sauce, with extra unami. Totally different to Chinese mushroom soy, which which is rich/heavy
(3) Golden Mountain = A soy-based seasoning sauce unique to Thai cuisine, invented in 1954
(4) Black = Richer and viscous, for coloring. Again, different to Chinese/Japanese/Korean 'dark' soys.
(5) Sweet = Dark soy (above) + molasses. Very similar to Indonesian 'Kecap Manis' soy sauce
(6) Soybean paste = used in some Chinese influenced thai recipes
🇹🇭 != 🇨🇳 🇯🇵 🇮🇩 🇰🇷

We are a gluten free, dairy free, peanut free household. For those who are looking for free from baking recipes, I could not recommend Katarina Cermelj's 'The Elements of Baking' more. We've made around ten things from this book and every one turns out perfectly with not too much faff.
Including these gluten free, vegan cinammon rolls that I made today with my daughter.
